VINTAGE BAUSCH & LOMB SPOTTING SCOPE - BALSCOPE ca 1953

Up for auction is this vintage (ca 1953) BALscope Sr. 60mm Telescope made by Bausch & Lomb, plus accompanying papers describing its attributes and specifications.  Rather than spell out the specifications in this description, I think you can read them in the pictures.  For being more than 55 years old, it is in very nice condition.  The lenses appear to be undamaged, though the inside of the objective lens looks a little dirty.  The dirty look is not fungus and it appears the lens can be easily removed for cleaning just by unscrewing a retainer ring.  The objective end has a retractible sunshade and its original protective cap.  The eyepiece cap is missing and, since this was an estate find, it's possible that there may be more parts of the eyepiece that are missing too.  With that said, I was able to focus on distant objects without any problems.  It also includes an accessory adapter, with straps, that can be used to attach the scope to any camera tripod.  Note that this was found with two Davidson Mark 245 tripod assemblies, which I have listed separately.   Please study the pictures to help guide your bidding and contact me with any questions.   Check my other listing to see if I have anything else of interest.  When possible, I will combine items to save you shipping costs.  Shipping will cost $10.00.   As always, my items are packaged with great care and shipped in sturdy boxes - no envelopes, padded or otherwise.  Thanks for looking and good luck..

NOTE A: Sorry, but no International bids accepted for this item.
